This show will be part of the 2012 season starting in January, so I will have to wait a long time to see if any of the people I met made it in the show. I did not, but I did not expect to since the two items I brought were somewhat common. It was a well organized madhouse! I guess over the whole day there were 6,000 people. Waiting in the various lines was fun since we all had these THINGS and we were curious about each other’s stuff. The first big room had lines winding around with the end at\u00a0 triage tables where we each got two tickets for our two items directing us to the correct assessors. I took a little camp stool — and I was glad I did.<\/p>\n

It was great fun. When waiting in line for the cape, I was right next to where they were taping the intro with Mark Walberg. They did about 5 or 6 takes of “Welcome to Antiques Roadshow Twin Cities….” After the day — I was exhausted, but happy I went, and felt quite privileged!<\/p>\n

My two categories were "glass" and "textiles" once inside no more photos-- I found my category that led into the center of the room where all the appraisers sat and also filming was taking place. <\/p><\/div>\n

Kathleen Bailey, from Issaquah, WA, assessed this pressed glass pitcher as from the 1860s and worth about $150! That was more than I thought since I had looked on ebay and most of these went for about $35, although not with the unusual pouring spout. <\/p><\/div>\n

Deborah Miller, from Deborah Miller Appraisals, said this cape was turn of the Century -- 1900s, had Chantilly lace, machine made fabric and was typical of the time. Worth about $85.<\/p><\/div>\n
